Home to the Savannah Golf Championship, an official Korn Ferry event, Deer Creek was designed by Tom Fazio and opened in the summer of 1991. This championship caliber course will test golfers of all skill levels. Its relatively wide fairways offer solace to those who spray it a little, but the par 3's as a group are the toughest on the island. The 18th is a beautiful par five, played along and then over the marsh to the green, situated directly behind the Deer Creek Clubhouse offering diners a wonderful view. In 2009, Tom Fazio returned to oversee the modernization of the course. Greens were rebuilt, closely mown chipping swales added, and the irrigation system and cart paths were completely redone.
